SNOWMAN
Well...we have been out of school for 6 days now...2 of those being the weekend. We have spent most of those completely cooped up in our house. But today was beautiful...so we had to build a snowman...or the kids version of a snowman....here are some pictures.

Chicago
This is a trip we took back in September, but I thought it would make for a good blog. Stoney was invited to sing the National Anthem at a Chicago Cubs game. (Yes, Sam...I was thinking about you the entire time...and wondering just exactly why it never worked out with Mark Grace :) Stoney has played in Chicago many times...and along the way has become good friends with a few of the Cub's players. This was my first trip to Chicago...and I loved it!! Beautiful city...I can see why so many love living there. We brought along C.J. and Avery. (Anabella stayed at home for this trip) And my dad and brother came too!! I have attached a few pictures below...
They let us come early for batting practice. I don't think C.J. even moved...he stood right behind the plate and got to meet some of the players...he was in heaven :)
We had a lot of fun and we were so proud of STONEY. He got to throw out the first pitch (a little high, but straight down the middle)
He sang beautifully and we ate at least one bite of every snack in the place!!
GO CUBS!!!

STILL ALIVE
Just wanted to let everyone know....the phillips family is still alive and doing well. I have been a little side tracked over the last....well, it looks like over the last 6 months. Stoney's schedule really picks up in the fall...and then that leads into the holiday season. So, I have missed 3 birthday blogs...and several wonderful events. (But my kids did get dinner every night...and a warm bed to sleep in :)
Avery is currently playing basketball and indoor soccer...she just turned 8 in December and I can't believe how fast she is growing...well, I guess I should say, aging. I guess she is growing, just slowly. She reminds me so much of Kristen and I. And she looks just like us playing basketball.
C.J. turned 5 in October...and is always on the go. He loves sports...basketball, soccer, football, and baseball. Really anything his cousin Reece does, he wants to do. He keeps telling me he wants a brother...when I say..."you want a little brother?" He tells me no...he wants a BIG BROTHER!! So, I guess Reece will have to do...unless there is a big brother lingering somewhere that I don't know about :)
Anabella...sweet little anabella right?? Wrong!!! Well, she can be sweet, she looks sweet, but as many of you mother's know...2 year olds have another side to them. She is in the middle of potty training...a full time job :) Seriously...her hiney is so small...she can barely hold up her tinker bell panties. We love her dearly...we just hope we survive this phase :)
Stoney is working on his next record. So when he isn't on tour....he is making trips back and forth to Nashville. So, we have only had him home a few days over the last couple of months. (We did get him an entire week at Christmas!!)
So, just wanted to give you a quick catch-up blog and let everyone know....we are doing great!!

HOURS of Dancing Fun!!
Avery had her very first dance recital on Sunday!! She started taking Jazz/Hip Hop mid-January and loves it. Please try to ignore all the make-up, well I guess some of you can compare it to the "old cheerleading days" of redlipstick and extra blush :) Avery was so excited that her family came to watch. (She did tell me as we were going in, to make sure I sat in the back, so that she couldn't see me...that will probably never change) Kamryn came along and sat through the entire 3 hour performance. 48 total dances to be exact. Avery was in two of them...#3 and #42, so let's just say we had quite a wait between dances. My dad was able to keep his eyes open the entire time...we did lose C.J. shortly into #10 or so. Thanks Mandy, Ryan, and Reece for watching Layne and Anabella!! Hopefully this will be the first of many recitals, you did GREAT AVERY!!
